6 acceptance and mindfulness group sessions during 35 days including individual homework assignments. 8 of 10 participants completed the program. At 1 mo follow up 50 percent (of 8 completers) were non-smokers, and the rest showed a decrease in smoking at a rate between 45 and 75 percent. Increase of the acceptance aspect of mindfulness was correlated with non-smoking.

Medium sized randomized controlled trial comparing ACT to nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) as a method of smoking cessation. Quit rates were similar at post but at a one-year follow-up the two groups differed significantly. The ACT group had maintained their gains (35% quit rates) while the NRT quit rates had fallen (less than 10%). Mediational analyses shows that ACT works through acceptance and response flexibility.
